First Barrier: the illusion of equality.
We are fundamentally unequal. What appears inequality to you, is perhaps merely the accepted state of affairs / birthright / divine justice / result of prayers to another. Rid yourself of any notion that the world or society is required to be "equal" or "fair", and you have already started to equip yourself thoroughly for your personal and professional journey.
Once you have accepted this truth and reality, you will know what you have to do. Be imaginative, work hard, take your chances, hope for some luck, talk talk talk to people, and you may find that something works out. All the best.

Personally no hate to people who have such background, obviously if I had such backing I would have also utilized it. But still my brain always get thinking how my life would be much easier if I even get 1% of the opportunities that they can afford.
